Who is the most underrated lion?

To me it is Cory(FB) because he really opens the holes for kevin jones but he doesnt get any props from people for working hard or anything.

Cory isn't underrated by the Lions fans as a whole. Most TV people know him too.
I remember John Madden saying "He can break a face mask in his sleep"
And then added "He's the guy you want on your team in a dark alley brawl".

I think FB is vastly underrated in the NFL but those who do it good are mentioned frequently.

But Cory IMO is just as good as a guy like Alstott and he is not mentioned half as much.

Alstott is a beast and gets the credit because he can run well with the ball.
Can Cory do that?
I think Alstott as more of a HB then FB.

I line Cory up against guys like Lorenzo Neal, William Henderson type guys.
He is underrated...but not by us.

Allstot is not a beast!! He can never block like Cory can he shouldnt even be a FB its just an easier way to have 2 RB's on the field, I would classify Allsot as a power back...

Alstott is not a beast how many facemasks has he broke? im sure not as much as cory. alstott is way past his prime and he is the most overrated player in the leage.

I'm saying Alstott is a beast when he runs with the ball. He's not a FB in traditional terms of blocking because he just doesn't have the heart.

I can see where some think he's underrated because he plays FB....but we know who he is and what he does.

I say Dan Wilkinson is the most underated Lion. I think he is the rock that helped Shaun Rogers devlop into the player that he is now. I can remember how pourous our run defense was before he got here and I saw how it was last season. I think he instilled a sense of professionalism into Rogers and inspired the rest of the defense to clamp down on the run.
